Pours a slightly clouded deep gold with an amber hue. Head is minimal and goes away quickly. Nose is sweet with a hop influence. Flavor is fairly robust. Thick hop that stays balanced and leaves a good taste on your tongue. After it all fades away,you are left with a strong hop aftertaste in the back of your mouth, though it did seem to have a slight metalic taste. Feel is thick and smooth. Very drinkable and definitely worth having more than one of if that is what you are aiming for.

Not bad at all. Pours a deep copper color with a loosely formed head. Aroma is of malts, with some sweet, maybe citrus, undertones. Flavor is of sweet malts with a slightly alcoholic bitter finish. Body could be a little fuller, though, but still a great beer when you just want to sit and watch a ballgame.

Liked the light hoppy taste. Liked the color. I ride a MTB and this would be great out on the trail after a long ride. I’ll try more Boulder beers in the future.

A beer I pick up fairly often. Very unique. Aroma of sweet malts and sweet aroma hops such as cascades. Slightly lingering bitter aftertaste with metallic notes. Nice copper color.

A light amber/copper color with some burnt orange highlights around the bottom. Hazy. A white, soapy head with not much size and only average retention and lacing. A rather robust malt tone that brought forth some caramel and some wheat bread. Some sweet, sugary notes similar to a baked pear or baked apple. Some of the earthy, "peat" aromas I’m not real fond of however. Maybe a bit of toffee in there too. The taste is a bit more mild and not as robust, but much better balanced than the smell. Again, some caramel malt with the earthy tone. Some of the sugary notes blend in well. Small tinge of bitterness, but not overbearing. Medium mouthfeel. Rather smooth and dry. Leaves touches on the palate. This beer is ok. Not my favorite, but easily drinkable regardless. That "peat" aroma and flavor gets to me after a bit, but I could still down a couple with relative ease. If you see it, pick it up but don’t go out of your way.

light body beer, with a small head, great fall back beer, smooth and easy to down, not overpowering with hops or malts, cleaner tasting than your typical domestics and nice to drink one or two.

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2008 Nice copper color with no head. Floral and malt notes. Malty flavor with a nice crisp hop finish that’s not overly bitter with a nice a bit of lemon to balance it nicely.

Copper color with creamy head. Hop aroma. Malty taste with citrus hop finish. Nice balanced beer. The hop finish is fairly smooth with little bitterness.

Pours a clear golden copper. Smells of malt, caramel, and a touch of hops. Flavor is malty with notes of butterscotch and a small amt of hops present in the finish. Medium bodied and crisp. Not a bad session beer.

bottle. really nice copper/amber ale... pours a deep copper - as the style would imply with a nice 1/4" white head which lasts throughout. not much aroma... great palate... soft and creamy on the top and more bitter and full on the sides. some caramel, hops and creamy malts. crisp, slightly bitter finish. overall, very enjoyable and serves as an excellent session beer.
